      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Red Hat in Aug 2020

      Interview

      1) Referred to several technical writing positions 2) Phone screen 3) Told that am considered for the senior level tech writing positions only. I was also told that a manager had a lot of enthusiasm towards my application. 4) Interview with a hiring manager who asked the exact same questions as the phone screener. When I went to elaborate my answers, I was told that it wasn't necessary to elaborate for some reason. The hiring manager then explained the team's structure. When I asked some follow up questions about the team's structure, the manager kept stressing that there were lots of management changes going on. I was told that there was lots of uncertainty apparently. 5) Given an old take home assignment. There was a huge bug with the product that I was told to write about, so I diagnosed potential issues and had some solutions at the ready. 6) Ghosted. After seeing everywhere that they were still recruiting for the position, I assumed I was out of the running. I applied to another position 3 months later, but I was told I was still in the running for the senior technical writing position. I withdrew.
